2. Lemon Drop Chicken Wings

Ingredients

1/2 cup vodka

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

3 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 1/2 pounds chicken wings, tips trimmed off

Instructions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine vodka, lemon juice, sugar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir/shake to dissolve sugar and salt. Add the chicken wings and mix to coat. Seal bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but overnight works best.

Preheat oven to 400°. Line a baking pan with two layers of foil. Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer in the pan, and pour the marinade evenly over all. Bake until meat is well browned and pulling away from the bone, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

3. Sweet Potato Tots

Ingredients

1 3/4 cup mashed sweet potatoes (3 medium-sized sweet potatoes)

1/2 cup grated cheddar or edam

1 egg yolk

1 small brown onion, finely grated

1 small garlic clove, crushed

1 cup gluten free breadcrumb

1/4 cup coriander

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 F. Place sweet potatoes on a baking tray. Pierce holes all over the sweet potatoes. Bake for 30 minutes or until skewers easily go through the sweet potatoes.

Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven, and allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Slice the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, and use a spoon to remove the flesh.

Place the flesh in a large mixing bowl. Cool down until it reaches room temperature before combining with the other ingredients.

Add egg yolk, cheddar, grated onion, garlic, breadcrumb, coriander, salt, and pepper. Combine these ingredients with a spoon until it forms a mash.

Use your hands to shape the sweet potato tots and place them on a parchment paper lined baking tray, leaving space between each tots.

Bake for 20 – 30 minutes or until the outside is crispy and slightly golden brown. The center should stay soft.

Prepare avocados (peel, scoop them out, and de-pit them) in a bowl with lemon juice, salt, and pepper (or put in blender). In another bowl, combine yogurt and taco seasoning mix.

Assemble to your tastes but the following works well.

Spread bean dip/refried beans on a tray or platter.
Spread avocado mixture over bean dip, followed by the yogurt-taco mixture over the avocado mixture.
Place chopped green onions, then the tomatoes, and finally the olives and the grated cheddar cheese over the entire dish.

1/2 cup fat-free milk
